You lose your son, misplace your wife, fall for a woman you can never
have, and you figure, those are the breaks. Everyone starts out even,
but some people succeed at life and some people fail. If you had it
all to do over, you'd probably screw it up again. And hey, at least
you're good at your job.

Then you wake up one day fifteen years old and dying, with an alien
telling you you were the next big step in evolution - a shame you
didn't work out. But you'd do it right this time.
